Plant based products are an alternative for those who care about the environment.
An interesting fact: the production of 1 cup of a plant-based drink gives 3 times less greenhouse gas emissions than the production of 1 cup of animal origin.
If we take milk for analysis, which we use more often in the diet, then not all types of vegetable milk are environmentally friendly.
What are the disadvantages:
- Coconut milk – destruction of tropical forests, carbon emissions due to delivery
- Almond milk – consumption of a large amount of water. Watering 1 tree requires at least 10 liters of water per watering
- Soy milk – forests are destroyed, eco-chains of flora and fauna are violated
- Oat milk – there are much fewer disadvantages, little water is required, less carbon dioxide production.
By choosing vegetable milk, you are helping our planet.
